The library seems to have various dependencies not already in Orbit and
you may need to also include them. You might be able to avoid some if
they're optional, or only needed for tests but if they're required at
compile-time, you would generally need them.

You can use mvn dependency:tree or even dependency:copy-dependencies to
get the transitive closure for some dependency :

Anytime someone plans to add a new library and if it has a pom with a
fair amount of dependencies, it's a good idea to do something like this
so you get an idea of how much work will be required.

Other dependencies, you'll notice might already exist in Orbit at a
similar version and if close enough, might be compatible. For example,
we have com.google.http-client:google-http-client 1.34.2 in Orbit, so I
would consider going with that if possible.
